Plowing Scam Making It's Rounds

Another scam making it's round this time in the Moncton-area. Residents are being warned about a snow-clearing scam in the area.

The Mounties say some residents are being told they must sign a contract to have their driveways cleared for the season and that the payment is upfront and in cash only. The service is then never delivered.

Fraudulent ads have been posted online under a number of names, including ``Atlantic Driveways'' and ``Brunswick Snow Removal.''
